New Zealand competed at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, from 23 July to 3 August 2014. It was the nation's 20th appearance at the Commonwealth Games, having competed at every Games since their inception in 1930. The New Zealand Olympic Committee registered the complete team on 8 July 2014, with 239 athletes competing at the Games across all 17 sports. The team was reduced to 238 prior to the opening ceremony, after judoka Patti Grogan withdrew due to an unspecified health issue.

Contents

New Zealand left Glasgow with 45 medals, including 14 golds, across 14 sports. It was the third-equal largest medal haul by the country, tying with the 2002 Games in Manchester and behind the 1950 and 1990 Games, both hosted by New Zealand in Auckland. In gold medals, the total was second only to the Auckland 1990 Games. One-third of the nation's medals were won in cycling; no medals were won in badminton, table tennis or triathlon.
